Depends on how people use it. I really wanted an exhaustive list
of codecs, instead of the few that MythCodecID enumerates,
so when I play a random MythVideo file and it fails to give sound,
or has video artefacts, I can press INFO make a mental note of
that without looking at the frontend log output.
